Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 74: Cousin Zhou Qingqing (1)

"So, your grandfather's illness has been completely cured?" Mr. Hao put the bowl in his hand back on the table and looked at Gu Panxia expectantly.

 Gu Panxia nodded, "Probably. If grandma is worried, she can ask grandpa herself after he wakes up."

Mr. Hao nodded happily. If it weren't for the arrival of his two grandsons, the old man would probably still suffer.

Meals were prepared quickly, including one scrambled egg, one stir-fried cabbage, one braised tofu with bean paste and one tofu soup.

“Time is tight and I don’t have time to cut the meat, so I’ll make do with it at noon, and ask your aunt to prepare something delicious for you in the evening.”

Hao gave each of his siblings a piece of egg and smiled gently.

 “Thank you, grandma!” The two of them thanked each other in unison.

 “You’re welcome, eat more!”

 It can be seen that grandma is in a bad mood, which may be because grandpa is recovering from illness. From just now to now, the smile on her face has only grown.

Ms. Lin looked at Gu Panxia, ​​the corners of her lips moved, as if she was about to speak but hesitated.

Gu Panxia noticed her gaze and asked curiously: "Auntie, is there anything you want to tell Panxia?"

When she asked, everyone turned their attention to Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin blushed and muttered: "I just... just wanted to ask Panxia if she still has the potion."

When Zhou Jian heard this, the expression on his face moved slightly. He had probably seen his wife's thoughts.

“Of course there is, what’s the matter? Does Auntie feel uncomfortable somewhere? Panxia can give you a small bottle!”

Since she has a river, she doesn’t care whether she uses it or not. It doesn’t matter if it’s for her own family.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin shook her head suddenly, "No, no, no, it's not that I'm uncomfortable, it's you... cousin!"

As soon as Lin's words came out, the entire dining table fell into silence.

 Elder cousin? Gu Panxia frowned, "What's wrong with my eldest cousin?"

She had only seen the two cousins ​​inside when they were young, but never again. In the memory of the original owner, they only vaguely retained their childhood appearance.

She remembered that her eldest cousin was Zhou Qingqing, who was twenty years old, and her second cousin was Zhou Lanlan, who was seventeen years old. She was not sure about their personalities.

After a long time, Mrs. Hao suddenly sighed, "Alas! Your eldest cousin fell into the water when she was a child. It was the twelfth lunar month and she was injured by the cold air. The doctor said... Alas, you are a girl who has not yet left the pavilion. What can you say? don't know!"

 Gu Panxia was a little bit dumbfounded when she heard this. Even if grandma hadn't finished speaking, she thought she probably understood.

Probably my eldest cousin fell into the water in the winter when she was a child, and then the cold air entered her body. After that, she probably couldn't get pregnant, right?

“What grandma wants to say is that my eldest cousin can’t get pregnant because of cold air entering her body, right?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her in shock.

Hao murmured: "Pan Xia, how do you know?"

 Gu Panxia chuckled, "Grandma, this situation is very common. Did the doctor ask my eldest cousin to drink more tonic soup or something?"

Hao was stunned, "This is...not bad, but the situation at your eldest brother-in-law's family is not very optimistic. Where can I drink chicken soup and sheep head soup all year round?"

When Mrs. Lin heard this, her eyes turned slightly red. Over the years, the Zhou family had sent a lot of tonics, but there was no movement at all from her daughter!

Fortunately, Mrs. Hao is a sensible mother-in-law. If it were anyone else, how would she care about her granddaughter?

She has always felt guilty. She gave birth to two children, both girls. Although her parents-in-law and husband didn't care, she still felt that she was ashamed of them and the Zhou family.

 So, for so many years, she was willing to work for the Zhou family and never dared to be lazy or slippery.

Gu Panxia nodded, this woman, especially in ancient times, if she was married but had no children, she would not only be ridiculed by others, but also despised by her husband's family.

If you meet a bad man, he will divorce you and marry you to another man because he is childless.
